On foot
A Saturday morning in downtown Purcellville
The farmers market, the shops on 21st Street, lunch, and the distillery on Main Street. All on foot.
Downtown Purcellville is Main Street and North 21st Street. Every stop on this plan is within a few blocks of the farmers market.
The W&OD Trail, the 45-mile paved rail-trail from Shirlington, ends in Purcellville, so the morning also works by bike.
